At the 1708 British general election he was returned as Member of Parliament for Orkney and Shetland and his only known vote was in favour of the impeachment of Henry Sacheverell in 1710.

At the 1710 British general election, he was returned as a Tory and listed as a 'worthy patriot' who helped to detect the mismanagements of the previous administration.
